    I live on a hill which is .3 mile high. I've made up and down 3 times, my goal is to my is at least 3.5 ( i live in the middle of it) or a whole 4th round trip up and down the stupid thing.
  • Today I was able to wake up early and do my strength training in the morning before work, although I am very sore and may have pulled a muscle....I was very active this weekend including cleaning, yoga, hiking/running a little over 2 hours and eliptical for 45 mins! But I did indulge in a few beers and pizza oops! So my goal this afternoon is to take it easy and eat very healthy and not to drink, shouldn't be so hard right? I am hoping not to have any drinks all week!

    Good luck to all and have a great week!

    I am sick today, so unfortunately I can't set any great goals.
  • Thats my goal to, good luck and stay strong!
  • I wanted to ditch the car and walk to work today. AND I DID! Now I just want to avoid the urge to call for a ride home and walk back home today. Its only a 20 min walk. Adding just the walk in the morning and the walk in the afternoon will increase my daily steps taken by 4,000!

    That is awesome, way to go! Don't you feel great about it! Do not get a ride home, you can do it!!!

    Back to the work week and walking at lunch. Walked only 30 minutes. Tonight I'm either going to cut the grass with my push mower or do an exercise video.

    Today I plan to re-start C25K. Walking just isn't enough.

    Great Job!!! That would be 40 min. of extra calorie burn!! Woop.

    And every extra calorie counts! Its a small goal for now, but im sure they will increase!!

    My goal is to stay within calorie limit, NOT break down and eat chocolate (this one's hard!), get in at least 30 min of walking or similar (today is recoup after long run yesterday), to eat a healthy dinner (evening eating is my demise), and to get to bed before 10 pm.
  • My goal today is to keep my head in the game!

    For me, this is totally mental. I know that I control what I eat, I know that I control when and how long I exercise, so my goal today is to hold myself accountable and give up on crafting excuses for my own behavior.

    I held myself accountable and did not drink any alcohol this weekend, and today I feel like I really accomplished something! (Especially when I think of all the empty calories I saved..ick!) So, I’ll use that as motivation to move my *kitten* after work, and accomplish something even better… BURNING calories! :happy:

    Good luck everyone - we are taking control!!

    Woot Woot! Great Job! Nicely done!!!! Way to go!

    I worked today, and it is so easy for me to say I don't want to eat what is in my lunch and go to the cafeteria and grab junk, but today I ate what I had packed and reminded myself of the challenge and my goals. I am going to take my dog on a 4 mile walk and enjoy the beautiful weather!
  • This is my first day on this plan and was logging my food intake while chatting with Niomi... Afterward I promptly threw away the Dr. Pepper I was drinking (and SO looking forward to). It felt good, I filled my bottle with water and am excited to get home and exercise. I am pumped!

    My goal for today was just to make it through physical therapy. Not only did I do that but spent 10 minutes playing in the yard with my dog and cleaned the house when I got home from work and PT. This is what I call non-exercise exercise. LOL. Tomorrow's goal is to fit in a workout somewhere.

    Charlibets - I've tried doing that program. I have to restart as I injured my leg a while back. Good luck on C25K.
